and wants to give his mates just some support for their language proper,
as used in modern times, and only in official letters?

Not euphoric. Not at all. I just feel talkative. The really good word for
what I am now is tired. I need a lot of alcohol, and then a lot of sleep.
A good Persian word is mozmahel.

Just in case the visa doesn't come Monday, you might consider making a
